Years ago I was looking for a 3000 MK2. I was offered a centre shift BT7 and a
side shift BN7 from the same dealer. On the MK2 BN 7 it was interesting to see
that there were no seatbelt anchor plates fitted. And you could see some
grinding marks on the upper front cross member as well and the chassis plate
was not the original, but a new stamped part.
At the end I bought the very honest MK2 BT7, as it was absolutely original with
the original engine fitted and I had some doubts about the BN7 which might have
started its life as a 3000 MK1.
